..........­.....well, for openers, I don't think either of them are sufficient­ly sexually mature yet [Knut is only about 3 and needs to be 6], secondly their "season" is April or May. We're going to be watching this pair for quite a while, folks!!!

Knut needs to get a sports car and, maybe, buy her some jewelry and take her to nice restaurant­s and tell her how beautiful she is. It works for some species. Oh, and call her.

Aren't they too young to mate? I think females start at age 4 and males at age 6 (don't ask why I know that...wha­t can I say, I'm a nerd)

Interestin­g that polar bears and grizzly bears are different species but can still mate and produce viable offspring, even in the wild.

Wild animals belong in the wild, not imprisoned in zoos. … Freedom is a precious concept, and wild animals suffer physically and mentally from the lack of freedom captivity imposes.

Never patronize zoos. The money spent on ticket purchases pays for animals to be imprisoned and traded, not rescued and rehabilita­ted.

Polar bears usually mate in early spring. Poor Knut may have to wait a while before Bianca's really in the mood.

At least they can be friends first.
